And there he is, at long last, the man himself, Ribcage J. Bones! Despite being the star of the comic, this is Ribcage’s first actual speaking appearance in the strip since July 23, 2003! He had a silent cameo earlier in the story, and another silent appearance at the end of The Haunting of Count Cyanide, but he hasn’t talked in almost three years. Now I know what’s been missing in my life. There has been an absense of Ribcage’s voice for far too long. He is my outlet, my means of greatest expression. He is my alter ego and I have ignored and denied him long enough. No more, and never again! Ribcage is back, baby, and he’s here to stay! He’s going to reclaim what is rightfully his – the spotlight. Get ready for some wackiness.
